A kinky way to increase your eBay sales bids.

I’ve been reading a thread about the murkier side of eBay in the Forums, and I’m interested to see some MoneySavers are starting to cunningly take advantage of people’s ‘peccadillos’. It seems slippers get a lot more money for some if they’re ‘used’. Interesting how this tiny bit of marketing can make such a price difference isn’t it? While “second hand worn out slippers” barely raise a penny, “womens slippers, well worn” seem to raise rather a lot more.

Funnily enough at the start of the thread I thought it was all quite amusing, yet as I read on a bit (by no means the whole way) it becomes a tale of caution. When selling something simple on eBay, even childrens clothing, it’s worth remembering that people can value things in a different way and being aware of the consequences.
